Exercising Post Flight

I'm a pilot for an airline, and It's common knowledge among pilots in our airline that exercising after A flight is dangerous for your heart, and that you should wait for 5 - 6 hours after a flight if you want to lift, they say it's something related to the airplane being pressurized, I searched but I found nothing on the internet to backup this talk.

is that right?
will Exercising after flying hurt your heart?
can someone direct me to articles online backing up this talk?

Thanks
Carry

If that were so, I would be dead by now. I may certainly hope they'd put up MASSIVE warning signs on airports and in airplanes if you could actually get heart problems from working out after flying.

I fear your airline's pilots have been hoaxed.
