Anything more than totally naked sporting competition is essentially a materials question.
Wooden tennis racquets gave way (briefly) to aluminum and then to composite racquets.
Wooden baseball bats became aluminum then composites.
Similar progressions took place for pole vaulting and nearly every other sport.
In running, however, the materials question mostly shows up in the running shoes, and Nike's Vaporfly is the current materials leader in that realm.
