We present here our ongoing study on the spectroscopic properties of the young active stars members of young moving groups Local Association (Pleiades moving group, 20 - 150 Myr), IC 2391 supercluster (35 Myr), Ursa Major group (Sirius supercluster, 300 Myr), Hyades supercluster (600 Myr) and Castor moving group (200 Myr). High resolution echelle spectra of 140 late-type stars have been taken during several observing runs from 1999 - 2004. In this contribution we analyse the flux-flux and activity-rotation relationships for the chromospherically active stars of the sample. With this aim, each optical chromospheric activity indicator from Ca ii H & K to infrared triplet (IRT), including Balmer series, has been used. Both projected rotation (v sini) determined by us and photometric period (Pphot) from the literature have been used in the activity-rotation relationship. We discuss the different behavior of these relationships in groups of stars with different age and the dependence on stellar parameters of the saturated regime.
