The activity-rotation relation has been investigated for single main-sequence stars later than F7 for which well-determined rotation periods and Ca II H and K or Mg II h and k emission fluxes are available in the literature. The chromospheric emission-rotation correlation of Marilli et al. (1986) is considered, adopting the line emission luminosity as the activity parameter. The present results can be used to constrain the convective turn-over time, the ratio between the mixing length and the pressure scale height, and the functional dependence of the emission on rotation.
