For active late-type dwarfs, the total energy losses including both chromospheric and coronal radiation as well as the energy losses caused by stellar flares reach 3·10−3 L001. To maintain such high energetic losses requires a high efficiency of the dynamo action in the convection zone. Mass loss by active late-type stars can probably approach the rate of 10−11 M⊙/yr if we take into account the large-scale structure of their coronae and transient events. The phase of activity can continue for up to 1% of the lifetime of these stars on the main sequence due to braking by such a stellar wind.
