Rotation appears as a dominant effect in massive star evolution. It largely affects all the model outputs: inner structure, tracks, lifetimes, isochrones, surface compositions, blue to red supergiant ratios, etc. At lower metallicities, the effects of rotational mixing are larger; also, more stars may reach critical velocity, even if the initial distribution of rotational velocities is the same.
