This report deals with the rotational history of late-type stars subsequent to their reaching the main sequence. The question of relevance to this Symposium is whether detailed comparison of magnetic braking theory with observations of young stellar clusters will yield any constraints on dynamo activity, in particular on the relation between the surface field strength Bs and the angular velocity ω.
