How to measure heart rate?!


Question: How to measure heart rate?
Im doing a science fair project dealing with heart rate. Im not suer If I want to do which energy drink raises heart rate more or caffeine vs. energy drinks but either way I will be having participants drink a small sample of a certain drink and then measure tyheir heart rate. I know that to measure heart rate you have to count how many beats in a minute but what is the best way to do count without getting to close and uncomfortable but still get a strong enough beat to be accurate?(:

Answers:

Well as far as I know you'll have to touch them no matter what in order to get it. I have a heart condition that effects my heart rate and it has always been taken through touch. The way that I'm most comfortable with strangers taking my pulse is through my wrist because I can extend it into their personal space rather than them coming into mine.
