Examining the angular momentum of stars and its interplay with their magnetic fields represent a promising way to probe the stellar internal structure and evolution of low-mass stars. We attempt to determine the rotational and magnetic-related activity properties of stars at different stages of evolution.We focused our attention primarily on members of clusters and young stellar associations of known ages. In this study, our targets are 6 young loose stellar associations within 100pc and with ages in the range 8-70Myr: TW Hydrae (~8Myr), beta Pictoris (~10Myr), Tucana/Horologium, Columba, Carina (~30Myr), and AB Doradus (~70Myr). Additional rotational data for alpha Persei and the Pleiades from the literature are also considered.
