Abstract. In this paper we deal with attractive central forces, more precisely with the system¶¶ $\ddot{x} = -xf(x,y), \,\, {\ddot{y}} = -yf(x,y), \,\, f(0,0) \ge 0.$ ¶¶We characterize the stability of the origin whenever the system admits a first integral of the following kind¶¶ $V(x,y,{\dot{x}},{\dot{y}}) = a{\dot{x}}^2 + b{\dot{x}}{\dot{y}} + c{\dot{y}}^2 + {\rm{II}}(x,y).$
