Space velocities of 146 chromospherically active binary stars have been calculated. Containing F to M spectral types on the Main Sequence together with G and K giants, this very heterogeneous sample has been divided into subsamples in order to segregate stars so that they have similar kinematics and ages. Systems containing subgiants or double-lined giants as their companions have ages about 2-3 billion yr. Single-lined giants appear to be older than intermediate disk population stars. The possible existence of white dwarfs as invisible companions of some of the single-lined giants is suggested in order to explain why these systems are older than double-lined giants.
