We present the main results of a study of the observed internal structure constants, k2, for a wide set of eclipsing binaries. From the analysis of the variations in relative positions of the eclipses and the comparison with different theoretical models, we could deduce that the discrepancy, previously reported by several authors between theory and observations, is no longer supported. Moreover, a strong correlation has been found between the evolution of the parameter k2 and the gravity at the surface of the star, g.
