An electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) device for the soleus muscle group includes an electrical stimulation generating unit, a working mode setting module, and an electrical stimulation output control module. The electrical stimulation generating unit generates an electrical stimulation signal. The working mode setting module configures at least one working mode, including configuring the frequency and duration of the electrical stimulation signal. The frequency of the electrical stimulation signal is within a preset frequency range, and the duration of the electrical stimulation signal is within a preset time range. The upper limit of the frequency range is less than a first threshold, and the lower limit of the time range is greater than a second threshold, thereby increasing the basal metabolic rate of the soleus muscle group. The electrical stimulation output control module transmits the electrical stimulation signal to the soleus muscle group according to one of the working modes configured by the working mode setting module. This addresses the technical problem that existing EMS devices have limited effectiveness in increasing basal metabolic rate and struggle to achieve sustained and effective metabolic enhancement.
