  Magnetic cycles have been detected in tens of solar-like stars. The
relationship between the cycle properties and global stellar parameters is not
fully understood yet.
  We searched for activity cycles in 90 solar-like stars with ages between 4
and 95 Myr aiming to investigate the properties of activity cycles in this age
range.
  We measured the length $P_{ cyc}$ of a given cycle by analyzing the long-term
time-series of three activity indexes. For each star, we computed also the
global magnetic activity index <IQR> that is proportional to the amplitude of
the rotational modulation and is a proxy of the mean level of the surface
magnetic activity. We detected activity cycles in 67 stars. Secondary cycles
were also detected in 32 stars. The lack of correlation between $P_{ cyc}$ and
$P_{ rot}$ suggest that these stars belong to the Transitional Branch and that
the dynamo acting in these stars is different from the solar one. This
statement is also supported by the analysis of the butterfly diagrams.
  We computed the Spearman correlation coefficient $r_{ S}$ between $P_{ cyc}$,
<IQR> and different stellar parameters. We found that $P_{ cyc}$ is
uncorrelated with all the investigated parameters. The <IQR> index is
positively correlated with the convective turn-over time-scale, the magnetic
diffusivity time-scale $\tau_{ diff}$, and the dynamo number $D_{ N}$, whereas
it is anti-correlated with the effective temperature $T_{ eff}$, the
photometric shear $\Delta\Omega_{\rm phot}$ and the radius $R_{ C}$ at which
the convective zone is located.
  We found that $P_{ cyc}$ is about constant and that <IQR> decreases with the
stellare age in the range 4-95 Myr. We investigated the magnetic activity of AB
Dor A by merging ASAS time-series with previous long-term photometric data. We
estimated the length of the AB Dor A primary cycle as $P_{ cyc} = 16.78 \pm 2
\rm yr$.
