Stellar evolution with parameterized overshooting from the convective core has been studied for the stellar mass range M/M(solar) = 3-30 and for the initial chemical composition range Xe = 0.650-0.739 (hydrogen) and Ze = 0.021-0.044 (metals). Evolutionary sequences run from the zero-age main sequence to the end of core helium burning, but emphasis is placed here on the core helium-burning phase. Convective core overshooting during the previous main-sequence phase leads, in most cases, to a shortening of the blue loop on the H-R diagram that forms when helium is being depleted in the core. On the other hand, convective overshooting from the helium-burning core has the opposite effect. A larger initial metals abundance also tends to shorten the blue loop. In an extreme case the blue loop can be fully suppressed, but in a marginal case the normal trend can be reversed.
