The way rotation influences the main sequence evolution of early type stars depends strongly on their internal angular momentum distribution. Their convective core mass is not always decreased as a consequence of a reduced “effective mass” due to rotation, since rotation laws close to uniform specific angular momentum may increase Δrad and thereby the convective core mass (Clement). In addition, rotationally induced mixing processes may redistribute angular momentum and chemical elements inside the stars (e.g. Endal & Sofia 1978).
