Compression clothing has become a very big business. That's because someone got smart enough to seize the marketing opportunity and figure that the same reasons that it could be used to help people from a medical standpoint, it could also be used to exploit a persons wants to do better in the performance arena. Nowadays you can find tight fitting compression garments in almost any sports store and they all have some sort of marketing angle that just can't be ignored. They wisk away sweat, they fight microbes and some of them even come with muscle defining enhancement designs (padding to make you look extra built).

It actually suppports blood flow. If you can perform longer to many that is equal to performing better. You get increased stamina capacity.
