Rotation is shown to produce an extended core due to mixing in early-type stars, in a manner consistent with the mixing-length theory employed to study other properties in stellar evolution. Whereas this effect is seen to have consequences similar to convective overshoot, it is capable of producing a greater amount of core enlargement, as appears to be required by observations. However, while it extends the main-sequence lifetime, widens the main-sequence band, and affects the blue-to-red supergiant ratios, it is not found to produce a blue loop. It is thus confirmed that the first, rather than the second, Wolf-Rayet phase is supported.
